The Appeal

ISBN, Oct. 12—Scientific progress is about laying to destroy another of the world's cherished beliefs. Scores of pet ideas and illusions have been the last few years without causing anything much more serious than a violent mental wrench. But this time it means something vitally serious for one great nation and almost as serious for the whole world. The end effect it means that one of the commonest similes used by all civilized nations will become an anachronism. Unlike British engineers can find a way to the test and universal saying, "As strong as the earth, as strong as meaning, for British military experts themselves, as well as the experts of many other powers, are declaring that Gibraltar the famous, still considered by almost all the world to be the strongest ever was, is nothing but a hollow fraud. "A honeycombed deathtrap," one British officer has called it within a few weeks. The modern long-ranged rifted gun has done it. The couchant jacket, Jebel Al Tarik, that is invincible only a decade ago, has been replaced with that any one could bring to bear on it. now is in easy range of rifted guns from surrounding forts—not merely great guns like the twelve and sixteen-inch rifted, but guns of calibers as small as six-inch, while the big guns can reach it easily. Naturally it is a subject that neither the British nor their enemies aim to discuss notily or publicly. The British can only hope to devise some way, unseen by them as yet, of fending off this new and real menace. Their enemies hope to get some sort of weapon to the owners of Gibraltar are ready for them. France has been stirring violently with Spain in the hope of obtaining a grant of land for a station on some point within the French territory, but is been idle. Military attacks are reporting activity in many of the fortifications, some of which had been dismantled and practically abandoned. Great Britain has been trying to force Spain continues to fortify and mount ordnance on points that command Gibraltar it is of course plain that all such works are directed against the famous coast of Spain, and that cannot be held to be doing anything that she has no clear right to do, for manifestly she has the privilege of doing what she pleases on her frontier, even if so closely bound in the inch of Spanish ground around Gibraltar. The new attitude of Spain toward England was shown a few days ago when Spanish soldiers and cost guard tried to forcefully to prevent a detachment of Britons from the coast that had gone ashore on Spanish territory. There was a stiff fight, in which several men on both sides were wounded, and the end of the episode has not yet been determined, be the beginning of many others, because both sides are under a stiff strain. The new phase of affairs has come at an exceptional inopportune time, for the British are only just completing their great work of improving Gibraltar bay. It will commence stone moles that are nearly immune to the sea. The British provide shelter for the British men-of-waz and torpedo boats. The entrance to the harbor is being made proof against torpedo attack by an ingenuous and elaborate system of booms and moles. The moles are increased with a view to coaling any fleet that Great Britain might have to throw it to Mediterranean waters in time of war. A huge dock has been built to accommodate the biggest battleships, so that they can be dredged away, preventing it from entering the ports to Plymouth. Portsmouth. And now England realizes that all these improvements are directly under the fire of ordinarily good batteries from the Spanish fortifications of Algeciras, directly across the bay, and that guns there cover every surface of the bay. All the naval works and the entire western face of the rock itself by direct fire, while plunging shell could reach the northern face as well, and even send shells as far as the famous Europa Point batteries. And the British are now able to equally. The town of Dines de is Conception is only one-half mile from the northern batteries on the dock and only four miles from the most southern point of the great fort. Shell fire from that point and from fortifications on the mountain and Lines can sweep all of Gibraltar. Even from the African coast high power cannon can throw projectiles, that will go across the strait and fall on ol'-Gulf coasts. The cannon is a Brain, is situated on the northernmost extremity of Morocco and is on extreme seas, and is used for fortification. The Spandens must be permitted it to deterate, as they have permitted everything else to do. But France has had long eyes on Ceinton from the sea, and it has been announced that she had size THE APPEAL. ALGECIRAC GIBRALTAR BAY MEDITERRANEAN GIBRALTAR SEA STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR CEUTA CIRCLE SHOWS THE CANNON-FIRE ZONE OF WHICH GIBRALTAR IS THE CENTRE cured this place. It is situated directly opposite Gibraltar, and the strait between them is not fifteen miles wide. When it is not so wide, the new building in the United States under a new system by which it is expected to attain a range of more than twenty-one miles it will be seen that Ceuta is not a place to be viewed with unconcern by the British. For so many centuries the great fortress had been practically out of effective gun range that even experts who have seen it through the lesia that ordnance has made it possible to range have forgotten that the improvements in cannon were menacing Great Britain's boat. In past days the smoothie guns, even when they could fire fire enough, did not have enough penetrative rounds. The cannon could only regain the limestone face of the precipice. So despite the fact that modern military engineering abandoned stone work in ordinary fortifications long ago, Great Britain could continue to use the stone-faced brick, which could of the rock as being amply strong enough to withstand attack. But now, with the realization that they can all be reached by four, six and eight inch guns, not to mention the ample inch, or monsters like the sixteen-inch gun, plotted by the United States government, comes the realization that limestone is a scryery material for shelter for other men or guns. If a modern projectile struck the limestone, it would question as to whether the projectile itself or the smashed and flying stone would do the more harm. Men and cannon actually would be safer in open terrain than in the rock, and they would be behind stone. And with plosive shells the destruction would be terrific. The fact is that, perhaps unconsciously, the English have rested too confidently on the wonderful bombardment, unparalleled in history, that continued uninterrupted in history, for three weeks in 1818, increasing in importance at Gibraltar by eighty martyrs and 200 pieces of cannon mounted on land, directed by the best engineers of Spain and France who were allied in the attack. The British were also armed, guns were brought until 1,000 were surrendered — at the stock. The forty-seven ships of the line and ten enormous bombardment joined in. And they were forced at last to withdraw, having made no impression. The besieged lost only sixteen in killed and had only six-eight wounded. This was a wonderful record, and Conditions are changed entirely now. The batteries of Gilbraltar are separated into two great classes—the lower and the upper. The lower batteries are open to visitors, and there is little that is secret about them. They are not considered as by any means the highly important parts of the defenses. If them are many old smoothie gues, a good proportion of which are protected, then the batteries are kept guarded carefully, and visitors are permitted to see them only under many extremely strict conditions and under the guidance of a commissioned officer. Even then most of the most important amenations are shown. In these upper galleries the important batteries are protected with bombproof casements and hidden behind masks of concrete and metal. The most effective protection of all—arthroworks—cannex be used to any great extent on Gilbraltar for two reasons. One is that it is almost impossible to cart batteries to the upper gallery. The offer is that the formation and the configuration of the cliff precludes any really adequate system of this kind. Exactly speaking, the weakness of Gilbert does not lie in its liability to attack 'There are miles of caves and tunnels most of them still in a natural state and many still unexplored thoroughly and others perfect artifactry. These would have been lost from even the most deadly and long-continued bombardment. A siege of Gibraltar would have to be almed at starving out the besieged rather than at taking them back. The defenses by artillery fire. But Gibraltar merely as a fort of defense is not worth to Great Britain the powder to defend it. The great rock is useful to the empire and the enemy, and were drawn from the batteries and had to lie hidden the value of Gibraltar would be absolutely nothing. Only so long as its guns can command every foreign army and be silent any artillery that might be brought to play on the harbor is it worth a single penny. The moment that Gibraltar falls to protect the British navy when it lies in the Straits that moment as well be lost to the British empire. Now that guns are being built everywhere, in France, Germany, Spain and even Russia, that can fire either solid or bullet-shaped guns, they are less than six miles and rise as high as twenty miles, Gibraltar harbor, which is the really valuable 'and vital part of Gibraltar, is safe from attack only as long as the gun. Rock can wipe out any inhalable gun. The Spaniards have the advantage of lots of ground where they can construct earthworks. Those earthworks can be used to defend their land, or please. There is no limit to such work on the mainland. Great Britain does not and dare not calculate that Spanish gummer will always be as poor as it was in the Spanish-American war. Besides, Great Britain knows perfectly well that, even if her war should be with Spain, the chances would be preponderating that in reality the fighting French guns and French gunners. * Gibraltar is a menace to France far greater than it is to Spain. So long as it remains invincible and offers a base, a harbor, a civil station, a dry dock, a marine, a docking station, a port, France have to expect that her Mediterranean fleet never will be permitted to pass the Straits in time of war. With French guns and French gunners in earthworks to the west in Algelarus and in earthworks in Lines de la Concepción they would be bound to hit a mark and do business; for whatever opinion the world may have of modern French military and naval genius, their artillery is excellent and their gunners are good ones. This was proved to America when the batteries around Havana were manned by French soldiers, a common hamon. There was no fooling about them. French guns proved their effectiveness drastically to the British in the Boer war. They developed, aounding range and equally astounding accuracy of fire. Poisoned shells are the best in the world to-day. And if they do not hold absolutely the first rank in the heavier guns—from ten to sixteen inch—they are not far from the top, while the lighter guns are really better than anything that can be found elsewhere. The all-stain riffle cannon of large caliber of the United States probably are the best in the world. After then come the krump guns, it is believed that they are not as well fitted, justly fit with the Krupps. *i* blues. So, unless English orchance a, a fortification builders had a brilliant way out of the predicament, she shall be able to say hereafter "strong as Gibraltar." The shells are much more compared to a kiffle, with the point directed toward Africa, while Spain holds the handle. The knife blade itself is the rock, three miles from north to south and SOUTH PORT WHARE GIBRALTAR (IN THE BACKGROUND) MODERN SHIPDOCK GUNS OR ORIGINAL COLLISION COULD SWEEP GIBRALTAR FROM THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND LINEA DE LA CONCEPCION about seven miles in circumference, not quite as long as that section of Manhattan island from the battery to Union Island, and about ten miles east and north and downs to a low and narrow sandy neck of land that connects it with the mainland of Spain. This sandy neck is the neutral ground. A row of sentry posts is the southern edge of the similar row on the Gilbrator side marks its British boundary. Just beyond the Spanish line lies the town of Lineda in Concepcion, and there the ground helium is being stored in a natural theater for fortifications. This section is commanded from the steep north face of Gibraltar by a remarkable and bewildering system of galilee cliffs, which rise at immense cost. They are almost three miles long and are wide enough to permit a carriage to be driven through them. At distances of twelve yards they are pierced for guns. On the summit are barracks, most of which areifications, forming a system that extends from the base where the rock slopes to the Gibraltar harbor Along this west front are the town of Gibraltar, barracks, armament and powder magazines and most of the buildings. There are four and one-half miles wide from east to west. On the opposite or Spanish shore lies fortified, Algeciras, only five miles from the rock, and, therefore, within a range for even small cannon. The alarming developments about Gibraltar could not have come at a time more unpleasant. In the building of the new mule and the giant dry docks the British have been paying out $10,000 a brick. The new taxation law requires that a taxpayer was only just beginning to become reconciled to this and other vast expenditures by the information that Gibraltar promised soon to pay its own expenses from incomes derived from its own growing revenue collections, harrowing the tax system. Its rosy dream is shattered, if its Gibraltar is not safe, and millions or even tens of millions can make it safe, those millions and even tens of millions must be spent. Great Britain could no more think of Gibraltar than it could of trondoning Westminster. TUSKEGE mal and Industrial Institute: Gentlemen: During the present school year 1,253 students have been in attendance, and the average daily attendance has been 1,010. About one-third of the students remain young men. The average age has been 18%, and none have been admitted under 14 years of age, and unless they have had some academic background, they are to us from 29 states and territories, and from 6 foreign countries, including 14 from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Aside from the students just named, who are in the regular industrial, academic and religious departments, there are 160 in the training school, which is taught upon the school grounds and under our control. This training school is attended by the small children from the school, and of our teachers, and is not only used to benefit children of the town, but as a school of practice for those of our students who expect to become teachers. A night school is also maintained in the town during the day, with an attendance of 64 students, and is composed of persons who work in the town during the day. An afternoon cooking class is also maintained in the town of Tuskegee for the benefit of women who are in service. In this Defective Page cooking school, it is the aim to teach the best and latest methods of preparing and serving food, and other household duties. Most of those who attend the afternoon cooking school, also attend the night school. Thirteen are at present attending the afternoon cooking school. Counting those who are in regular attendance at the institution, together with those in the training school, town night school and the town afternoon cooking school, there is a total of 1,514 students. The number does not include the hundreds of adults who are reached through the Tuskegee Annual Negro Conference, together with its numerous local Negro conferences. There are in the employ of the teachers, the capacity of officers, academic teachers, industrial instructors, assistants, clevers, etc. 169-person-s Since its beginning, 498 persons have received diplomas and certificates of graduation from its various departments, and these are at work in various fields of usefulness in every part of the SOUTH. WORK OF GRADUATES. Aside from those who have graduated, it is safe to say that there are more than three thousand who have not remained long enough to receive a diploma or certificate, but who, nevertheless, have been so much benefited by their education they are doing praiseworthy work. In the early years of the school, the larger proportion of our graduates became teachers. At the present time a very large proportion follow the trade or industry learned at this institution, and many of them combine their industrial knowledge with teaching, while still others teach a portion of the year and work at their trade the remainder of the time. The calls that come to us almost tally, not only from the Negro race, but also from whites as well for our graduates and many for our undergrads, are many—more than we can supply. The calls from white people for our graduates to take charge of various departments of agriculture, are especially numerous. If we had the time to spend our time on unitaries for the greatest usefulness for many times more graduates than we are sending out. In accordance with a vote of the Trustees, Rev. R. C. Belford, one of our undergraduates, each year in making personal inspection of the work of our graduates and under-graduates, and one gratifying fact in connection with this inspection is that very few men and woman who have spent any considerable time at art institutions are to be found in luleness. Since the entire value of our work is to be tested by the success of our graduates, we feel that we cannot be too careful in keeping in close and accurate touch with the work of those students. In several cases graduates of this institution are planting the methods and the spirit of this work in a surprisingly successful manner, on a large scale, in various parts of the South. Especially is this true of the school known as the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Christiansburg Institute, at Cambula, Va.; the Denmark Industrial School, at Denmark, S. C., as well as several others. It is a notable and encouraging fact that the schools at Snow Hill and Denmark are in starting and encouraging these schools have been Southern white men. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: - It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. - It is not controlled by any ring or olus. - It asks no support but the people. aiming to secure the most promising students from a wide section of territory and to so train them that they will return to their homes and give their communities the benefit of their training. as as possible we are encouraging our graduates and others to introduce training in agriculture into the public schools of the South. This we think very important for the schools located in the small towns and rural districts. In this industrial training, we keep in mind the graphicizing of those industries at which the students can find immediate employment as soon as they leave us. GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF WORK. The experiment which we began trying some two years ago of giving training to a portion of our young women in such outdoor industries as raising and raising and raising and raising, is proving quite successful. This is especially true of poultry raising. Several of the new agricultural buildings mentioned in my last report have been completed, and we are now in need. Among them a heathery. This new building gives us the opportunity of teaching the raising of all kinds of poultry. We have made my friends whose gift manned it, possibly to erect the heathery, also enabled us to build a new barn for the dairy cows, and a new dairy house. All these buildings were much needed and put us in a position to do much more effective work. Dorothy Hall, the new Trades' Building for Girls, given us by friends in New York, to which I made referral, and was dedicated April 22, 1901. This is a very satisfactory building, and puts us in a position to give more effective training to girls than ever before. A friend in Boston has given us $2,000 to be used in the erection of a training school building, and another in Connecticut has given $4,000 for a hospital. Both of these buildings areresses of erection and are much needed. Mr. Morris K. Jesup, of New York, has given $5,000 for a new barn for horses and mules. This building is also in need of repair. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given $20,000 for a new library building, which is also in process of erection. In connection with all these buildings we are sticking to our original idea of having a new library done by the labor of the students. In many respects this has been our most prosperous and encouraging year. The report of the Treasurer will show our financial condition in detail. The report of the Treasurer will show large meetings held in Boston, New York and Philadelphia and other centers, the interest in our work has not only been kept alive, but has grown and broadened. FINANCIAL. The total amount of money received for general expenses has been $112,782.20. Of this amount, $112,104.24 has been used to meet the current expenses of this year, and the remainder to meet prior obligations and for permanent equipment. The Treasurer will show that the institution will be able to meet debt, and friends can feel assured that whatever they give will be used for forwarding the work of the school, and not in meeting debt. Since my last report we have re improving the plant, $28,008.25. At the time of my last report The Endowment Fund amounted to $155- 222.49. Since that time this fund has been increased to $252,717.02. The whole of this fund is invested in safe and conservative securities by our En- dowment York. This committee consists of Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., 128 Broadway, New York; Mr. J. G. Phelps Stokes, '47 Cedar street, New York. The average interest, now being re- ceived upon our Endowment is about 41% of the total amount received from all sources, for all purposes, $312,529.08. It now costs annually to operate the institution in all its departments not far from $100,000. The annual financial expense we are now assured of the following amounts: $1,600 from the Peabody Fund. $800 A. U. A., Boston. $2,000 from students' entrance fees. $20 from the John F. Slater Fund. $270 from the Home Mission Association, of Boston, as well as several other smaller amounts. Added to these is the interest of our Endowment Fund, which is about $11,100, thus making a total of $32,070 that we will pay to make the reasonable certainty, leaving approximately $8,000 to be raised each year in order to meet the current expenses of the school. This money is secured mainly in the form of small gifts from indulgence, Sunday schools and churches and other organizations in all parts of the country. The amount named as needed for current expenses leaves out of account the money needed for buildings, machinery and other improvements of the school. Two-fifths of the total amount received during the past two years has gone into the permanent plant and Endowment Fund. We have a right, I think, to point with pride to the small average cost of teaching our students. The total number of students being 1,514, and the total current expenses charged being about $10,000 brings the whole cost for each individual to $12. The greater proportion of what the students pay is in the form of labor. They pay their expenses in labor this year. $76,213. Every effort is constantly being made to reduce the expenses of the institution, and to exercise the strictest economy, in every department. At this point I cannot refrain from being indebted to six friends, whose unrestricted generosity has lifted this burden from our shoulders and placed the institution in the position where it can accomplish much more good than has ever been true in its history. I am sorry that I cannot have the privilege to share their names, but this they forbid, for it is a rare and beautiful privilege for us to touch with those souls who hide themselves behind their deeds of generosity. Among our most pressing needs at present are the following: An Endowment Fund of at least $500,000 (towards which $250,000 has been secured), of $50 of a year to pay for the tuition of one student, $200 enables a student to complete the four years' course. $1,000 creates a permanent scholarship, the interest from which pays for the education of a student in time. Money in any amounts to meet current expenses; even $1 helps us. $20,000 for a Girl's' Dormitory. $20,000 for a Boys' Dormitory. $12,000 for an Administration Building. $1,200 each for two Teachers' Cottages. $500 each for six Teachers' Cottages. $10,000 for a drainage system. $10,000 for a drainage system. $12,000 for completion of Boys' Trades Building. $2,000 for Commissary Building. $10,000 for equipment of industries. $10,000 for an addition to Alabama Hall. MISCELLANEOUS. Since my last report we have lost by death, Mr. Henry C. Davis, of Philadelphia, trustees and most helpful friends. Mr. Huntington, of New York, has also passed away, Mr. Huntington's interest, began with the early history of the institution, and continued to increase till the day of his death. In him the museum lost one of its strongest friends. Perhaps the most important event (Continued on Fourth Page.) THE "WORLD'S SIFAIRCITY" VIEWED BY THE APPEAL MAN.

Cleveland's new theater on Van Buren street, between Wabash and Michigan avenues, will soon become the real, fashionable amusement theater of the city. There is not a safer or handsome theater anywhere else on earth. The great building in which it is located has the advantage of answering the law's pressure on the public to show its four sides. If speculation be true that Manager Cleveland's great success has caused the owner of the edifice to already consider the feasibility of a theater to a, 2,000 seating capacity shortly in the future, which can be accomplished very easily, the value of the reality would be increased to nearly, if not quite, the one million mark.

TREAT BROS 100 E. 4th St. novelites. The scenery and costumes are entirely new, and the twenty chorus girls are said to be pretty and charming, but the costumes are termed "High School Girls". It is a hilarious affair with but little plot, plenty of music, wittitude, song and dance, general jollification. The first act is a dance, and the second a vaudeville turns. Among those taking part may be mentioned Aggie Behler and company in an entirely new singing and dancing novelty, Le Roy and the Mafia, and Gilbert, travesty stars; Markey and Stewart, Irish monologue and parody singers, and the Harpers, coon singers, cake-walkers and dancers. The closest pair is the Gilbert and Chinatown," showing a genuine society opium den, handsomely lavished with the glittering and luxurious magnificence of the celestial orient, in full view of the opium and real victims, which will make a finale seldom witnessed on the burlesque stage. Mr. Henry Watterson has added himself to the pack which has opened full cry on President Roosevelt for inviting Dr. Booker T. Washington to his table at the White House. This, he says, is a trickly editor insists, means social equality and social equality means mixing the races, and this mixture the destruction of the white race. If Mr. Watterson will keep his eyes on the race, he will be Louisville, a city where the Afro-American has never had social equality, he will be forced to admit that social inequality has not prevented the success of the two races. Every Southern thoroughfare is witness to that fact. Keep a race downtrodden, cut off from advantages, treated as in俯卧 and of a lower caste and its women will be the inevitable and often unwilling prey of men of the superior race. That under serfordism, more under serfordism than under ignorant freedom, worse under ignorant freedom than under educated freedom, but it will exist. All history has written this recurrent event is held to an inferior social status. Every Southern observer agrees that this sad evil has decreased with the advance of the Afro-American in property, education and self-respect—Philadelphia Press. TUSKEGEE, (Continued From First Page.) that has occurred during the year is a visit of a party of sixty prominent people interested in the education of both races. This party, known as the "Ogden Party," came here as the guests of Mr. Robert C. Ogden, one of our brothers, and I feel sure that their visit will result in much good to the whole South. The spirit of industry is so strongly lodged in the minds and hearts of the students that every student upon our rolls pursues some branch of industry, in addition to other studies. Every student who graduates has received training in some branch of industry as will enable him to earn his living. When we consider the past I regard that from every point of view the progress of the Negro race is satisfactory and the relation of the races encounters patriotic and conservative citizens that present conditions are not disturbed by hasty, racial and unnecessary legislation.
